"City Kids" Acoustic Chords - Flyleaf
I've watch the guitars acoustic version the guitarist does and come up with something pretty
rough.
Use the intro for the verses.
I do lots of weird finger picking in the verse and chorus.
Some of the Ems in the chorus sound a bit odd, but I cant find a better chord atm.
I've done this in root position so Stick a capo on where ever suits you
I personally have to tune down to C standard. But I think the one the guitarist does is
capo 2 standard tuning
Enjoy!

Verse:
Em Em7 Cadd9 G
Walking through the city we grew up in, everything has changed again
Em Em7 Cadd9 G
I remember fighting to believe in truth and how the good will win
C Cadd9 G D Em
But we were young, almost in love
C Cadd9 G D Em
Too scared to reach out for what was
Em Cadd9 G
Walking past the house that you grew up in, man, it looks so different now
Em Cadd9 G
Remembering the story of your first kiss, the feeling of my heart ripped out
C G D Em
And we were young, almost in love
C G D Em
Too scared to reach out for what was
C G D Em
Looking back, we tried to laugh
C G D Em
Silly kids, the ghosts of past
Em Cadd9 G
You were just a girl, you wrote a letter, it said that we were dearest friends
Em Cadd9 G
I push myself to read a little further, it said we would be 'til we're dead
C G D Em
And we were young, almost in love
C G D Em
Too scared to reach out for what was
C G D Em
Looking back, we tried to laugh
C G D Em
